Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Trapped in a Corner by Him Again _1

Translator: 549690339

Gu Yuanzhou has deep, penetrating black eyes that seem to perceive everything. Whenever he directs his gaze at me, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s seeing through me.

For a few fleeting seconds, I considered all the possible outcomes.

In the end, I gave him an answer.

“Does this name… make President Gu uncomfortable?”

“The name you wrote is my deceased wife’s! How do you expect me to feel?”

The man radiates a powerful aura, his words filled with a sharp, cutting edge.

Like a sword coming at me, carrying a sweeping martial airstream.

I don’t want to confront him head-on, so I ask cautiously,

“Does President Gu think my handwriting is good?”

Hide-until-needed, this is my current strategy.

After all, Damaha hasn’t woken up, and I can’t be sure if Gu Yuanzhou is indeed the culprit. I must remain patient and communicate with him skillfully.

He glances briefly at the words I’d written…

“Very well written!”

“Um, what’s good about it?”

“The characters you’ve written… are exactly like my wife’s handwriting, including these two names.”

“So… can I take that as a compliment, President Gu?”

President Gu takes out a stack of documents from a folder.

He separates them into two piles.

“This one includes your previous job application and various reports. This stack contains the meeting minutes you’ve recently written…”

I feel a pang of anxiety in my heart. I hadn’t anticipated that this man would start to become more suspicious of me, paying attention to even these minor details.

Though shocked, I wouldn’t expose myself until he struck first. So, I played dumb and continued asking.

“Did my business performance worsen or improve?”

He stared at me for a few seconds,

“The handwriting is different. To be precise, since my wife’s death, your handwriting has been exactly like hers.”

I feel uneasy inside, “Hmm!”

“So, can you explain to me why?”

Ye Mengyan isn’t here today.

Only him and I are present, and you can distinctly feel a sense of pressure when we’re alone together.

Still, as a couple who had been together for over a decade, I could handle him calmly.

“I’ve always admired Mrs. Gu. I have been imitating her handwriting off the record, and it has become a habit.”

I believe my answer was watertight.

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t raise more questions after hearing my response.

“If Mr.Gu doesn’t like it, I will stop.”

In fact, this was my attempt to gauge his reaction.

Changing someone’s handwriting, which has evolved over decades, is difficult.

Gu Yuanzhou looked deeply into my eyes, “No, I like it!”

I manage to squeeze out a smile,

“I was worried that I might offend you!”

Gu Yuanzhou’s face remained calm, his eyes gazing deep into the dark distance,

“She was excellent, I love everything about her!”

Upon hearing this, I sneered in my heart.

If he thought so highly of his wife, why did he keep a mistress four years ago?

Such hypocrisy.

At this juncture, he was still pretending to be a devoted lover. Did he think I couldn’t see through him?

“I think Mengyan won’t be home tonight. Do you need me to reserve a table at a restaurant for you?”

“Okay, but…”

His words were always succinct.

As if he were utterly economical with his words.

As I made a reservation for him at the restaurant, he went upstairs.
